Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has warned Adama Traore to stay focused amid Chelsea interest
Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has warned Adama Traore to maintain his focus amid reported interest from Chelsea.
"If a team like Chelsea is following Adama, it's because his progression has been brilliant in six months and he's doing well,” he said.
"But he's young and the main thing he has to do is to keep going in the same way because football changes a lot.
"Maybe he is in a big moment, but with Patrick (Bamford) here now, with other players already, maybe in two or three months, he will not be playing and Chelsea disappears and everybody disappears."
